The point to posting the 1922 newspaper article below is to show that a number of natural disasters were worse 85, 105, and 125 years ago, when the outdoor CO2 level was much lower than it is today. So, according to Al Gore, Michael Mann, David Attenborough, etc, such heated weather should never have occurred in the early 20th Century. This is one of many pieces of evidence proving that the CO2 Climate Driver Theory is erroneous.
None the less, ten years later, in 1932, there would come the Year Without a Winter. In fact, a number of competition events at the 1932 Winter Olympics had to be postponed. This included the bobsled finals.
Shortly after this would come the dreaded heatwaves of 1934 to 1936. This was when the atmospheric CO2 level hovered between 308 and 310 ppm ... 119 ppm LOWER THAN TODAY. Five years prior, in 1927, America endured its worst flood in recorded history; the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. So, there were intense grades of natural disasters when the CO2 level was much lower than it is today.
Moreover, 90% of all Greenhouse Gases is Water Vapor. If Greenhouses Gases are having any kind of effect on Planet Earth above and beyond the effect they had in decades & centuries past, it's Water Vapor that is doing it.

Keep in mind that "climate" computer models involve mathematical & algebraic variables that can drastically change the outcome of the computer calculation. Variables in equations can be tweaked, amended, or rigged in such a way that you can arrive at the pre-conceived conclusion that you seek.
In as much, computer models are not reality. Computer models only make predictions. As a result, the vast majority of "global-warming & "climate-change" predictions never came close to having come true, in any capacity.
In the alternate, history is reality. Statistical record keeping is reality. More specifically, "Observational Evidence" is reality. Directly below is some historic reality. Reality does NOT need the permission of computer models, in order to exist. Reality supersedes all computer modelling.
Now, an instrument such as a thermometer is reality. However, you can rig the reality of a thermometer reading, by placing the thermometer in the midst of heat-retaining asphalt and heated jet engines. Such a place where you can get erroneous temperature readings is called "the airport."
The Matter at Hand, as of March 2025
At present, a certain journalist of a certain pro-climate-change news outlet recently reported that tropical cyclones "are less frequent but more intense." This is a double lie. The opposite is true. Instead of adhering to computer models, go outside and walk around, for a change. Then look up at the sky, followed by you looking beyond the horizon.
I obtained and saved the entire Cyclone Scorecard (record) of the Atlantic Basin, going back to the late 19th Century. The record shows that, in recent years, there have been moderately more cyclones per year ... on average. But, the record also shows that more low-level cyclones, call Tropical Storms, have been emerging from the Atlantic Ocean, as well.
Al Gore predicted that more high intensity hurricanes would be the common occurrence each summer. Well, there have been an added number of cyclones ... in recent years ... not strong enough to be called hurricanes. They are the junior varsity members of the Atlantic Basin Cyclone Team. They are weak storms. They are the opposite of what Al Gore predicted.
MOREOVER, the modern record shows that there have been more SHORT-DURATION storms ... of those cyclones that lasted two days or less, since the mid-1950s ... even since the mid-1940s. This fact also negates & invalidates Al Gore's 2006 claim that an increase in atmospheric CO2 was going to cause more intense hurricanes. After all, very few Category 5 hurricanes have ever made landfall on the shores of the Continental United States ... ever since 1852. I've already covered this in other Blue Marble posts.
The chart below ... and numerous other ones at the Blue Marble Album ... can help emotionally traumatized school students who were constantly being told that we are in a never-before-seen climate crisis. Within intervals of time, the weather was worse 85, 105, 125, 500, and 700 years ago, when it came to natural disasters. This long era of time was when the atmospheric CO2 level was as low as it gets.
As a review, at the end of the last "Major Glaciation," otherwise known as "the last major ice age," the CO2 level was 180 ppm. Now, there was an encore to the Ice Age, known as the Younger Dryas Stadial which lasted for an approximate thousand years. The depth of severe cold ended approximately 12,700 years ago. Yet, a significant rise in temperature wasn't accomplished until 10,000 years ago. Shortly after this period, the outdoor CO2 level would hover between 260 to 284 parts per million.
In fact, in 1600 CE, the CO2 level was 275 ppm. Even in 1750, outdoor CO2 was only 277. Then, in the Year 1830, outdoor CO2 was at 284 ppm. The 284 ppm level was previously reached in the Year 1165.
In going further in time, atmospheric CO2 was 295.8 in the Year 1900 ... 305 ppm in 1925 ... 310 ppm, at the end of WWII, when the Surface Temperature Decline of 1940-1985 was already underway.
In 1965, the atmospheric CO2 tally was 322 ppm. It was 350 ppm in 1987 and 370 ppm in 1999. CO2 reached 381 ppm, when the 2006 Al Gore movie was shown in theaters and public schools. The level of 429 ppm came in March of 2025.
Incidentally, at the end of the last major "glaciation," the CO2 level was 180 ppm. Throughout the Babylonian, Persian, and Greco-Roman Empire years, the CO2 level was 260 to 280 ppm. Atmospheric CO2 was 280-284 ppm throughout the Viking, French, and Spanish dynasties which spanned from The Year 1000 to 1550.
At this point, keep in mind that Michael Mann asserted that CO2 started to rise above the usual level at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution started in 1712, when Thomas Newcomen produced the first successful stream engine. Well, the atmospheric CO2 level did NOT rise above 284 ppm, until 1833. Even at that, the CO2 level did NOT rise past 289 ppm, until 1876. And then, it reached the very even number of 300 ppm in 1911.
Despite this significant rise in outdoor CO2 in the 21st Century, there was NO COMMENSURATE RISE in Atlantic Basin Sea Storm intensity. On the average, Atlantic Basin cyclones have become a degree milder and a degree shorter in duration. This Observational Evidence shows Al Gore & Michael Mann to be the teachers of false science, in their demonization of the life-supporter molecule, CO2.
And of course, take note that the present rise in CO2 is due to the coal-fired power plants in China & India. Thus, the CO2 level is out of America's hands and out of Europe's hands. In fact, Russia's 40-50 Gigawatt coal power capacity doesn't come close to China's. Even in 2020, China's coal capacity was already at 1,080 GW.
Of course, coal emits real pollutants which harm mammalian health. This includes methylmercury, beryllium, arsenic, and fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 macrons. Such pollutants need to be corralled ... they need to be filtered.
Remember, when the CO2 level goes below 150 ppm, all photosynthesis ceases, and life on Earth ends very quickly thereafter. CO2 is an absolute necessity for there to be life on Earth.
